Prefoldin subunit 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PFDN4 gene. ^{[5] [6] [7]}

Function

This gene encodes a member of the prefoldin beta subunit family. The encoded protein is one of six subunits of prefoldin, a molecular chaperone complex that binds and stabilizes newly synthesized polypeptides, thereby allowing them to fold correctly. The complex, consisting of two alpha and four beta subunits, forms a double beta barrel assembly with six protruding coiled-coils. ^[7]
